VMs: On Sukhotin

[Luis Vélez <legal1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Philip,

Great website! Thank you for posting it - congratulations to you & the other
list members who have recently revamped their pages.
It would be interesting to track the growth of Voynich material on the WWW.

> Sukhotin is no linguist.

Perhaps he is/was a mathematical linguist? One paper ("Optimization
algorithms of deciphering as the elements of a linguistic theory") by a
Boris Viktorivich Sukhotin was included in the12th International Conference
On Computational Linguistics: COLING '88 (Budapest, 22-27 August 1988). He
appears to have participated as well. Is this our guy? Could he still be
alive?
